Abstract

The impacts of climate change on paddy irrigation water demands in Korea have been analyzed. High-resolution ($27{\times}27\;km$) climate data for the SRES A2 scenario produced by the Korean Meteorological Research Institute (METRI) and the observed baseline climatology dataset were used. The outputs from the ECHO-G GCM model were dynamically downscaled using the MM5 regional model by the METRI. The Geographic information system (GIS) was used to produce maps showing the spatial changes in irrigation water requirements for rice paddies. The results showed that the growing season mean temperature for future scenarios was projected to increase by $1.5^{\circ}C$ (2020s), $3.3^{\circ}C$ (2050s) and $5.3^{\circ}C$ (2080s) as compared with the baseline value (1971~2000). The growing season rainfall for future scenarios was projected to increase by 0.1% (2020s), 4.9% (2050s) and 19.3% (2080s). Assuming cropping area and farming practices remain unchanged, the total volumetric irrigation demand was projected to increase by 2.8% (2020s), 4.9% (2050s) and 4.5% (2080s). These projections are contrary to the previous study that used HadCM3 outputs and projected decreasing irrigation demand. The main reason for this discrepancy is the difference with the projected climate of the GCMs used. The temporal and spatial variations were large and should be considered in the irrigation water resource planning and management in the future.

기후변화가 우리나라의 논 관개요구량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기상연구소의 SRES A2 시나리오에 대한 고해상도 ($27{\times}27\;km$) 기후 자료와 기준년도 (1971~2000)의 관측 기상자료를 이용하였다. 기상연구소가 전지구모형 ECHO-G 예측자료를 MM5 모형으로 역학적으로 상세화한 결과를 이용하였다. 논 관개요구량의 공간적인 변화를 분석하기 위하여 GIS 기법을 이용하였다. 연구결과는 벼 생육기간의 평균기온은 기준년도에 비해 $1.5^{\circ}C$ (2020s), $3.3^{\circ}C$ (2050s) 및 $5.3^{\circ}C$ (2080s) 상승할 것으로 예측되었다. 벼 생육기간의 강우량은 0.1% (2020s), 4.9% (2050s) 및 19.3% (2080s) 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 영농 형태와 논 면적이 변하지 않는다고 가정하면 우리나라 논의 총 관개용수량은 2.8% (2020s), 4.9% (2050s) 및 4.5% (2080s) 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 총 관개용수량이 다소 감소할 것으로 예측한 다른 연구결과와는 상반된 결과를 나타내었으며, 그 주원인은 사용된 GCM에 따른 기후 예측치의 차이에서 온 것으로 판단된다. 관개용수량의 시공간적 변동성이 큰 것으로 나타났으며 이는 앞으로 관개계획과 물 관리에서 고려되어야 할 것이다.
